IABU. Unreasonable and I know it.

I am just so fucking irritated at the moment. Everything is grinding my gears. DD's constant fucking exercising, DS leaving his shit everywhere, DH's following me around and just fucking breathing everywhere.
I am being a model of kindness and tolerance but I do wish every bastard one of them would fuck off.

And face timing my DGM97 every day at exactly 6pm to watch her slowly lose her shit (she's been in lockdown for 6 weeks already) and become unkempt is horrendous. Arguing with her for hours about politics (she lives for these debates and asks for robust challenging - good for her mh she says) is exhausting. I just want to lie down, I don't care what Mark fucking Steel is saying today - he can get fucked too.

My mean GD97 who has been living in isolation for 40 years and never wanted a visit or call but suddenly needs the warmth and kindness of his family - well the women in his family, and I am especially sought after as the busiest person. Fuck you mean old man, you are alone for a reason! you made your miserable lonely bed now lie in it!

My normally sane DM is in full lunatic mode, needing constant love and reassurance, leave me alone! I am your child! What about me! Why not rind one of my many bastarding twat brothers. And stop cooking for 12-18 people - there are only 2 of you there - that's why you're getting so fat - not stress hormones.

My tribe of idiot brothers who all refused to accept there was any problem and spouted full Trump rhetoric until my DGM's neighbour died and then had massive mantrums demanding I send them all food. Get fucked!
.
I love these people so very much. I also loved my small business and working, and being on my own a bit. I care so much, but I want a break and a vent. So here, in the safety of MN, I will tell them all to get fucked.

Thank you, I feel so much better now.

Best typo of the week, surely?

Shows how the stress is getting to you, @CharlieTangoBanana.

DP's discovered a new way of being fucking irritating.

He's watching videos of motorhomes on the laptop with the volume up, because he wants to hear what they're saying about them.

I've made him stop while The Archers is on, but if he keeps it up I'll spit in his carbonara when I make it in a minute.

HDDD · 19/04/2020 19:15

My utterly useless brother, always has been and always will be but has really shown his true colours through this. 1. finding out our elderly mum had a cough so phoned her twice, for 2 minute calls (did he get the sniff of inheritance money? 2. she got better, so the calls stopped. 3 called her again 2 weeks later to tell her all about what he is doing, how he is coping, the lovely things he's doing for his community and those suffering - not asking her how she is, how her partner is, if she needs anything etc etc. What a fucking massive selfish bellend he is. Phew, better out than in.

cavalier · 19/04/2020 19:16

You are a people pleaser I am guessing and need to say no .... and not feel guilty
If you don’t learn to assert yourself ( can take a while to learn this and it’s a complex reason why we can become people pleasers .. I did a course for myself ) ... you can get depressed ....

CharlieTangoBanana · 19/04/2020 19:16

Tobasco not Tobacco fucking auto spell can fuck right off too

I've just been informed that dinner will be another hour at least - well I might be full of fucking chocolate cake, dry roasted peanuts and vodka by then

Ifyoudontlaughyouwillcry · 19/04/2020 19:21

Totally get it.

My husband has started criticising the birds for joe they fly(????). And today sat right next to me and crunched, yes crunched a banana. How the holy flaps do you actually do that???!

Diva66 · 19/04/2020 19:27

YANBU! Crying here, this has made my day 🤣

Hangingwithmygnomies · 19/04/2020 19:28

@Ifyoudontlaughyouwillcry I'd have to smother him with a pillow! How the actual fuck do you crunch a fecking banana?!

Jack80 · 19/04/2020 19:31

Things are going to get to us all best to rant on here

ODFOx · 19/04/2020 19:31

Teens doing fuck all. Apparently they have no work to do but their teachers tell me otherwise when they call to check we are all ok as the dc haven't logged in to any of their homework sites.
DH is furloughed so has signed up to Disney+ and is binge watching bloody Winnie the Pooh.
I am working from home and doing about 60 hours because although I'm lucky enough to be able to wfh I am really busy. And still every single bastarding member of the family files past me 3 times a day asking what they can eat. Then every time DH goes to the shop to buy wine or beer he has to buy essentials even though I have got the shopping down to one main and one top up shop for 2 households. To help me out this evening he is making dinner: he's bought frozen faggots and they don't fit in the (broken) freezer so he's doing those with mash and veg. I don't like frozen faggots but will be expected to feign gratitude and pleasure.
And the Kids DGF is still popping out to the newsagents even though they are supposed to be shielding and he insists on me getting their shopping from a certain shop and specific brands, so I'm jumping through hoops trying to give him no reason to go out and he's treating me like a servant.
And I'm being nice to everyone. Thanks for the opportunity OP.

piperm · 19/04/2020 19:31

I get that! I'm a teen mum and my sons dad is involved, I didn't get a chance to move in with him before it got really bad due to my family being gone for a trip and i was home alone, now I'm stuck in my house with my crazy siblings, rude step dad and my mother who is going crazy about the virus! My son is only 3 months and it's extremely hard taking care of him entirely alone, overall I have to also balance helping my DM clean the house because my step dad is being incredibly lazy and my siblings have no discipline and play video games 24/7 and calling the father to support mentally isn't working anymore!!!

Cornishgorl44 · 19/04/2020 19:33

Oh lord. Thank god Iv found you all DH is doing my head in. He has taken holiday from work and has spent every bastard minute of it telling me how he can’t cope with this. It’s killing him his mental health is shot to pieces. He needs me so much to support him. Ffs man. I get it but really. Help yourself. Cook a meal wash a plate! He wants his daughters with us too and expects me to run around after them too. No way mate. I tell him we are so fucking lucky I’m all of this shit but no wo is me and he has no reason. Just being a wanker. There feel better for that. So with you op

MrsHg1 · 19/04/2020 19:34

24fuckinghellthisshit I LOVE you
This sums me up 100% today. You have me in tears laughing and from how shit everything is. My aspie dd (15) is doing my nut in and my 5 year old dd is so overly needy I just wanna fucking scream. I can't even get for a pee without her clinging to my leg. I'm also working 14 hr days and today I had a mini break down and turned my phone off when every (c u next Tuesday wanting something from me. I just have no more to give. There is no end in sight either 😭 fuck off covid you plank

Deadringer · 19/04/2020 19:35

Whenever my lot come near me i give them something to do, they soon piss off.

vale46 · 19/04/2020 19:36

You are not being unreasonable my lovely. Can you have a nice bath away from everyone or shut yourself away in your bedroom with a book with the windows open? Have the others do dinner and wash up so you get a (bit of) a night off. Bit of internet browsing (but not necessarily spending!) might be nice too! xxx

malificent7 · 19/04/2020 19:37

I can beat all of you...dp is doing fecking morris dancing in the garden!!!

Hangingwithmygnomies · 19/04/2020 19:39

@malificent7 😂😂😂

Craiglang · 19/04/2020 19:41

I'm used to being in my house by myself. Kids at school. DH works away. But they're all here. RIGHT HERE. Even in the evenings. I want to eat dinner in peace and watch absolute shite on the TV but nooo. It has to be educational and dull and we must learn something. Expand our minds. I'll fucking well expand my hand, right in to his smug face.

I've had enough SpongeBob. Enough bickering. Enough pants left on the landing. Enough of DH BREATHING NEXT TO ME. They can all fuck off to the other side of fuck. And then they get there, they can FUCK OFF SOME MORE.

And "D"H ate my last creme egg today. He's officially dead to me. There is no coming back from that.

deandra · 19/04/2020 19:44

CambsAlways · 19/04/2020 19:49

Rant away

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 19/04/2020 19:51

My mother can fuck the fuck off to the far side of fuck too.

I rang her tonight, and she seized the opportunity to lecture me about how much weight I have put on, and what a Risk this is.

Fuck off mum. I know I am morbidly obese, and I eat too much and it is dangerous for my health, but I am very depressed, sleeping badly, and cannot like myself enough to give a single shiny shite whether I live or die.

She has smoked all her adult life, and when she was in hospital for 7 weeks, bed bound, and perforce had to stop smoking, she started again the moment she was discharged, because she did t want to waste the cigarette stockpile she had at home. She has a bad chest, and has had to have surgery for poor circulation to her legs (causing recurrent ulcers), si she is in no bloody position to lecture me about my health.

I just want to cry now - she has really fucking upset me. And no, autocorrect, I do not want to say ducking, I fucking want to say fucking.

FaveNumberIs2 · 19/04/2020 19:52

So tell them all to fuck off then.

Razzlefrazzle · 19/04/2020 19:55

Oh my god I feel your pain. My DH has decided this is an excellent opportunity to watch Lost from the beginning again. This has now become some kind of mission which is preventing him from joining in with family life. If he tells me on more time "it's making so much more sense second time round" he's going under the patio! I won't be responsible for my actions if he claims to understand the fucking ridiculous ending this time Angry

Ahh, that feels better

Sittingonthedockofthebay · 19/04/2020 19:56

Amen to that, keep on going people, we will make the other side and there will be solitude/company when we want it .

Muchtoomuchtodo · 19/04/2020 19:56

I’ve had 2 days off and can wait to get back to work - even my hours doubling seems good right now!
DH is embracing zoom and FaceTime but can talk at it - he bellows. He’s downstairs now at the back of the house, I’m upstairs at the front and I can still hear him. But will he phone his parents? Of course not!
He’s incapable of clearing anything up properly and I’m not allowed to have my daily walk by myself, I just want to be alone for a bit.
My DD won’t comply with the social distancing rules despite being in an at risk category and he continues to visit my very elderly and vulnerable auntie most days. I’ve had to stop phoning now before I completely lose my shit at him.
Bloody neighbours FB group has come across all judgy and bitchy so I’m biting my tongue at that too., just be nice you nobheads .
